Barry Lester (Auto Replicas) - Died 7th July 2010
Hand
built and kits
Just
as we sent out the August news letter we received confirmation
from John Simons that the Ferrari 350P4 was on it way to
us. This kit MM199 will build either the Chris Amon version
as raced in the 1968 Tasman series, the sports cars ran
in support races to the more famous open wheeler cars. The
car was entered by Dave McKay’s Scudira Veloce team
and although it did struggle against the larger engined
Matich it managed a win at Longford (where the Matich didn’t
run) and a second at Sandown Park.
The
car was also ented at the Bathurst Easter meeting driven
by Bill Brown where it won easily setting the fastest lap
and was clocked at over 180mph on Conrod straight a record
that stood for around 30 years. The car was then sold to
Paul Hawkins to race in South Africa where he shared the
drive at the Kyalami 9hr with John Love and took pole but
finished 3rd In the 3hr races he won in Cape Town and Pietermaritzburg,
came 2nd at Lourenco Marques and he won the 500kls race
at East London.
This
model is a very significant Aussie/Kiwi one and, although
made before, it has never been made correctly as when the
car raced in Australia it carried a spare wheel hooked on
the rear.
